That’s networks, not hosts
Nah, apparently it's completely valid to end IPv6 addresses with a 0. And I haven't done much research, but it seems IPv6 really doesn't have network addresses the way IPv4 does.
Also you can ping them and they reply.
You can have .0 as a host. 10.0.1.0/23 is a perfectly valid host, same with 10.0.0.255/23
